Hike has made available access to a range of third-party providers.

As many of these third parties are the best at what they do, it makes sense to work together.

You will find, through the instructions, there is a series of steps to connect Hike to these products, so they can work together, sharing data.

Wherever there is any general rule to be aware of, that affects all programs, we will make note of it here. Otherwise, if it is specific to any one program, we will discuss under that particular program.

Third party program sync

There are a number of options to sync the data between Hike and your Third Party Program at various sections throughout Hike. This article explores the options throughout Hike.

The most obvious, being in Integrated Apps screen, where you can click on Manage to directly affect each third party account. There is a separate article for each third party, discussing in detail, the four options to manage each third party, being:
